Concerning Friendship.

Il seem to have a talent for losing

preston on me. Ii seemed to mean so
much more than Il have talent for

No one can make an enemy without
q pang of regret. There is that in every
mans soul that causes him ~ desire

being
But there are measureleSs depths of
sadness in the knowledge that one easi-
~ loses one fr ends.

Gus in lis foundation and its fabric
Two people are drawn together hv as
socidtion, by chance. or Oy affinity.
Each. knowing that he is not truly and
unselfshly faithful to the other, finds
pleasure IN the hope that the other is
true to HIM. When he finds he is not

There is that in the very essence of
friendship that makes this true. An

is a REIMBURSEMENT. A sens tive balance

Protection If Fish.

Seth Green. in the Amertcan Agrt.
culIurtst for March. makes this forci BILE
appesl for the protection OF fish:
The matter of protecting our fish IS a
subject which should interest every
good teen, whether he be fisherman
or not; il is a question which concerns
the food supply of the country, which
is of vital importance 70 every man,
woman and child.
The class of fishermen who do he
most damage are those who take the
tish during their spawning seasons.
Ii IS at this time that the fish come
into the shallow water TO complete
their task OF procreat on and are then
easily captured. All fish have certain
localities. to which they resort at the
season of the year when their eggs are
matured and ready to cast Different
varieties seek different localities.
These localities are we'll known to
poacherS. and where the fish congre-
gate N these places in large schools,
they draw their net around them. and
frequently capture the whole lot at =
single haul.
Another method through which our
inland waters are deprived of hundreds
of thousands Of young fish annually, is
through the means of the murderous
spear and jack light. The deprcdators
approach the spawn ng beds Of the sal
mon trout. bass. or other tish IT night;
the strong light of the jack. as it is
called. thrown upon the water, enables
the speaIman to see down in the clear
water for several feet; TIE darkness OF
the night serves in the same way as a
cloak thrown over the head in the day.
time in looking below the ice, through
which means, as MANY of your readers
know, objects can be seen for con.
siderable distance down. The fish
have apparently little fear of the light.
and the boat is easily padded up to
within few feet OF the fish, when the
deadly spear is sent into them. Not
only are many captured in this way,
but many are injured which are moi
brought to the boat, so that thev die

The Great nnonxovia sale.

A large crowd of passengers yester--
day attended the sale of the Monrovia
lots advertised in the HERALD. Owing
to the rush of business and the demand
for cars and engines, the visitors were
obliged to go and return on regular
trains, q feature that interfered IN a
measure with the convenience OF the
passengers who expected to go later and
return earlier than schedule limo. How.
ever, the attendance was very large and
the bidding lively and vigorous for
premiums above schedule rates.
The lots went off like hot cakes sea-
soned with butter and honey, till the
salesman became weary in well-doing;
but this was not noticeable till he had
sold ITO lots for Sl02, ZOO. The premium
on these lots above schedule price
amounted to $40, 900, which will be de-
voted to the erection of public library
In Monrovia. The sale was great sue
cess, and showed the appreciation of the
public for the rare lots of Monrovia.
In the evening celebration of the
first anniversary OF the town was held,
and was most joyous and festive oo-

REPORT ON WINE.
Condition of the Industry I'm
Erance-CalifOrms Wine.

WASHINGTON, May l7.--United States
Consul Roosevelt at Bordeaux, has been
making an exhaustive study into the
wine industry Of France. The result of
his observations are summed up as fol-
lows, in recent report to the State
Departments; "There is abundant ex-
pert testimony that as good wines can
be produced in California as in France.
Last year, while in the United States, |
daily used California claret and occa.
sionally white wine from the same State,
and l do not hesitate to say that / found
them superior to the same grade of
wines commonly consumed here. 1t
must be admitted that France at present
produces finer wines than have yet been
made in the United States, but this fact
is entirely due to years of experience,
exceeding care and the skill employed,
and not, as is claimed by the French, to
superior advantages of soil and climate.
The wine industry in the United States
has, owing to its wide latitude, as is at.
tested by pure and agreeable wines pro.
duced in Virginia as we'll as in Califor.
mia, brilliant future. In view of this
fact, there is no reasonable doubt that
in time there will be brands of our ma
tive wines as famous and as much in de-
mand as those of the celebrated wineries
